  • Patent number: 7228315
    Abstract: Software is utilized for allowing a physician to modify the rules of a decision tree so that the individual judgment of the doctor is best utilized. A technician can then carry out tests on a patient, obtain test data in the form of digital data, and apply the test data to the software. The patent test data is then processed through the decision tree to thereby obtain a diagnosis of the patent using the professional judgment without the presence of the physician.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2002
    Date of Patent: June 5, 2007
    Inventors: Terese Finitzo, Kenneth D. Pool, Jr.

  • Publication number: 20020012899
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a technique for allowing a nonprofessional to utilize professional-tailored software to carry out an analysis without the professional being present. In the preferred embodiment, a decision tree is provided having multiple levels of analysis, where each level includes plural rules for optional use. Each rule is selectable for use by the professional, and if selected, the rule has provisions for allowing the professional to assign a numerical value for comparison with the client data. In the preferred embodiment, the professional can enter into the levels of the decision tree how many of the selected rules must pass or fail before the level is considered as a pass or fail condition. Also, provisions are made in the software to provide a “refer” output, where the test results are indeterminate and the patient must be tested again while yet present at the test facility.

  • Patent number: 5003986
    Abstract: A signal waveform analyzation technique which filters digital data to define primary peaks. Unfiltered data of the primary peaks is then employed to define secondary peaks associated with the primary peak. Amplitude and time characteristic data associated with the secondary peaks is then employed to determine reproducibility of secondary peaks between the pair of traces. A hierarchial analysis is utilized to further analyze the reproducible pairs of secondary peaks to identify a prominent wave. Depending on the success of a first pass, the digital data is filtered with a different bandpass, whereupon the analyzation steps are again repeated in an attempt to identify a prominent wave.
